A member asked:
Can you donate blood and platelets if you are using duromine 30?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most: modern blood banks want donors who are on NO medications (since even very small amounts could technically cause allergic reactions in recipients. Phenteramine is most likely one of the prohibited medications...CALL YOUR RED CROSS Blood donation center..they will be glad to tell you for how long before giving blood you should discontinue your medication THANKS FOR WANTING TO DONATE! Hope this helps
